OUR BARONIAL WHIMS

We love to celebrate not only your victories and accomplishments, but also what you learned in defeat, challenges, and struggles. 

We wish to hear the playing of period music and music written by the player/singer in great abundance.  

Sing-a-longs and rounds are favorites. Sing in to battle and sing off the battlefield.  Sing before court starts and during feast.  Sing together.

 

“Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song.”

~Joe Raposo
